L-arginine is an endogenous amino acid. It is produced in the body, but can also be taken in with food, e.g. pumpkin, sunflower seeds. Arginine is metabolized into nitric oxide, agmatine and glutamic acid. The latter is necessary for the production of neurotransmitters responsible for maintaining balance.
Role in the body:
L-arginine is essential for efficient liver function and growth hormone synthesis. It influences the dilation of blood vessels. Regulates arrhythmias, reduces risk of heart attack. It has a positive effect on intestinal function and the immune system. It also plays a role in fat metabolism and speeds it up. This will help you achieve better results from training and sticking to your diet faster.
